The Super Six
All of our junior classes are age and ability specific. Each class is named after one of our Super Six characters: Tiny Tigers (3-5yrs) & Tigers (5-7yrs) form our Tigers Academy.
Cranes are beginners aged 7-11yrs who learn the Han Guk Mu Sool syllabus.
Mini Mantis, Mantis & Dragons are our intermediate and advanced junior members.
Every Junior class includes syllabus material, but the activities and practices are differentiated to suit the needs of the class to provide appropriate physical & mental challenges for all junior members.
Progress
All Junior classes follow our 10-Week Learning Programme, which focuses primarily on martial arts foundation skills like kicking, hand strikes, blocking & safe falling techniques.
The programmes also ensure that every junior member covers the syllabus material for their next belt level between testings.
Of course students training more than once a week have more opportunity for cementing their learning.

All junior members are issued with a Stars Scheme Booklet
They must tick their booklet every time they receive a SKILLS PATCH or a CHARACTER QUALITY PATCH.
Patches are to sewn on T-Shirts, (not Uniforms).
One week of every month is called ‘Patch Week’.
During Patch Week junior members learn how to perform a specific martial arts skill.
They are awarded the SKILLS PATCH at the end of the class if they have achieved success. There are 36 to collect!
Each month students are also encouraged to show the ‘Word of the Month’, which are different character qualities (see below).
Unlike skills patches, these badges are awarded to one student from each class who has best demonstrated the character quality; this could be in the class, at home or at school.
Junior members must tick the back page of their booklet every time they receive a patch to earn their stars.
Each coloured section represents the number of patches a junior has earnt. eg. When they have received five patches they can ask at reception for their White Star.
